Dragony

Dragony is a power metal band from Vienna, Austria, which incorporates elements of symphonic metal in their style.

History

Dragony was founded in 2007 by guitarist Daniel Stockinger and lead vocalist Siegfried Samer. Originally conceived as a studio rock opera project and accordingly named "The Dragonslayer Project", the project quickly evolved into a full band when new members Andreas Poppernitsch (guitars), Georg Lorenz (keyboards), Frederic Brünner (drums) and Herbert Glos (Bass) joined the group. After playing several smaller shows on the Austrian circuit, the band soon played their first support shows for international acts such as Firewind and Paul Di'Anno. The band continued to play live throughout 2009 and 2010, sharing the stage with renowned Melodic Metal acts such as Serenity, Axxis, Edenbridge and Sonata Arctica.

In 2010, work on the debut album began, and production of the debut "Legends", featuring contributions from many stars from the Austrian and international scene such as Thomas Buchberger of Serenity and Ralf Scheepers of Primal Fear, was finally completed in late 2011. In order to better promote the album, the band dropped the long "The Dragonslayer Project" name, and switched to the shorter "Dragony".
